Rapidity long range correlations, parton percolation and color glass condensate

TL;DR

This paper explores the similarities between string percolation and Glasma models, focusing on rapidity correlations and ridge structures, suggesting that high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at LHC energies exhibit phenomena similar to heavy-ion collisions.

Contribution

It highlights the parallels between string percolation and Glasma results, emphasizing long-range rapidity correlations and ridge structures in high-energy collisions.

Findings

High multiplicity pp collisions at LHC show similar string density to semi-central Au-Au collisions at RHIC.

Long rapidity correlations and ridge structures extend over more than 8 units in rapidity.

Predictions of ridge phenomena in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies.

Abstract

The similarities between string percolation and Glasma results are emphasized, special attention being paid to rapidity long range correlations, ridge structure and elliptic flow. As the string density of high multiplicity pp collisions at LHC energies has similar value as the corresponding to Au-Au semi-central collisions at RHIC we also expect in pp collisions long rapidity correlations and ridge structure, extended more than 8 units in rapidity.
